Renault 17 Engines and Transmissions

Each Renault 17 engine in these examples is a gasoline four-cylinder paired with a manual gearbox sending power to the rear wheels, as in the 1.6 MT and 1.7 MT. The smaller unit suits relaxed touring, while the larger displacement adds mid-range pull for overtaking and climbs.
